Lucy and I met up to train the big boys and the young dogs.
Firstly the baby dogs - we ran in straight lines through 2 jump wings and a tiny tunnel. We used each other to help with rewarding and building drive.
Then it was onto the big boys. We started with the same long straight line. Teaching the boys to extend out where possible rather than put in a stride between jumps.
We then worked on tight turns using both the accelerator and braking arms to guide the dogs on the shortest line.
Following this we added a long jump and dog walk and we had ourselves a course of 12 obstacles.
Now both Lucy and I lack in confidence competing. We are now determined to give 100% at training to boost our confidence in competition. Both boys did our little course blindingly well with us exhausted at the end. Tiring but we expect 100% from our dogs so should give at least that back in return.
A lovely afternoon x
